So long 2011

This year has been filled with fun times and sad times. I've grown in so many ways and I am thankful for the many blessings in my life this year. I will treasure the memories that Jason and I made this year together. So here's a little recap of our year:

January 

Jason and I moved to a new apartment and I celebrated with a friend at her bridal shower.

February  

We had a ice/snow storm that hit the first week of February where I missed 4 days of work. It was great.

I met the Pioneer Woman again on Valentine's Day. I can't wait to see her when she goes on a book tour again!

I turned 28 and made goals before turning 29.

March 

We went to Branson with my family and celebrated Jason's birthday while we were there.

We also got Iphones. We moved up in the world.

April 

Jason's mom and sister came into town to celebrate Easter.

May

We went to a FC Dallas game with some friends and watched David Beckham and had it pour down rain on us.

We will NEVER Forget

I will never forget that fateful day 10 years ago. I was a freshman in college and had just sat down in my 8:00 bible class. We had prayer requests at the beginning of the class and one of the boys in the class said that he saw on the TV in the commons area that a plane had crashed into the WTC. At that point, we had no idea that it was terrorist attack that would cost the lives of many and change our lives forever.

I pause today to remember the people who lost their lives that day and to the families who lost fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, husbands, wives, and friends. We will NEVER forget.

10 years ago: Favorite TV shows

I love TV! Here are some of my favorite TV shows that I watched my senior year in high school in no particular order (well except maybe the first one)

1.

The best show ever! I have all the seasons and still watch them and can quote a lot of them. Jason can vouch that at least once a week I start a sentence with "It's like that one time on friends..."

2.

"I don't want to wait for our lives to be over...". Loved this show! I always went back and forth of who I wanted Joey to be with, Dawson or Pacey?

Before there was Twilight - there was Buffy.

Now I kind of want to go back and watch these all over again. What were some of your favorite shows?

10 Years Ago: Music

I had a wide variety of music that I listened to in high school just like I do now. It makes me feel old that these were popular back then when I swear they just came out yesterday.

I want It That Way...anyone?? I am not ashamed to say that I play this in my car from time to time.

Who doesn't remember Britney and the snake? I want her abs too.

Saw them in concert and loved it! "Cowboy take me away" I think was sung at all girl group gatherings =).

I think I saw them in concert like 6 times. I kid you not. I love all their songs.

Anything that you remember listening to?

G-day: 10 years ago

Ten years ago today, I was graduating high school. Yikes! I can't believe that it has been 10 years already. The time has flown by so fast and I swear I just graduated yesterday.

It's amazing what can happen in 10 years. I graduated before the world knew what facebook, an Ipod and Iphone, and twitter were. Before we knew the horrors of 9/11, hurricane katrina, and the break up of Brad and Jennifer.

This girl didn't know what the world had in store for her but I was ready to spread my wings and fly ( sorry for the cliche there). I had lived my life in a bubble until the day that I walked across the stage to accept my diploma and begin a new chapter in my life. Some days, I wish I could still live in that bubble - where the world was a better place and everything was carefree - but then I think of all the wonderful things that I've learned and the things I've done and it doesn't seem so bad.

In honor of my 10 years from graduation, I'll be posting blasts from the pasts of what my world was like back then this week. So come join me and reminisce about what you were doing 10 years ago!!
